Question

dense than liquid water. when water molecules reach the freezing point (32 degrees fahrenheit, or 0 degrees celsius) the hydrogen bonds spread the water molecules apart ev__. if frozen water were more dense than liquid water, it would freeze and then s__. what would happen to the water on earth if that were the case?
____
heat capacity means that water is really good at holding on to heat. heat capacity is what makes it hard to heat up and cool down the o__. sw__ is an example of one way our body uses heat capacity to regulate temperature.

1. how does the high heat capacity of water relate to the average year-round temperature of san francisco as compared to the average year-round temperature of a city in the mid-west?

Explanation:

San Francisco is near the ocean (has a large water body). Water has a high heat capacity, meaning it absorbs and releases heat slowly, moderating temperature. Mid - west cities are more inland, with less water influence. So, San Francisco's year - round temperature is more stable (less extreme) than mid - west cities, which have more temperature variation (hotter summers, colder winters) due to less water to moderate temperature.

Answer:

San Francisco, being near the ocean (with large water bodies), has a more stable year - round temperature (less extreme) because water's high heat capacity moderates temperature (absorbs heat in summer, releases it in winter). Mid - west cities (inland, less water) have greater temperature variation (hotter summers, colder winters) as there's less water to regulate temperature.
